Superscape was founded nearly twenty years ago, and has been dedicated throughout its history to the development of ground-breaking software technology for the creation and delivery of innovative, high quality interactive 3D applications.
Over the years, Superscape has amassed unparalleled expertise and experience in the development of 3D software capable of working within the constraints of limited memory devices, slow processor speeds and strictly controlled file sizes.

Drawing on this knowledge, Superscape has established a world-leading position in the development of industry-standard 3D technology and applications for mobile devices. The company's Swerve technology has been developed specifically for wireless environments in close collaboration with ARM, and comprises a 3D engine (Swerve Client), authoring tools (Swerve Studio) and a broad portfolio of 3D content, with particular emphasis on 3D games. Swerve is being adopted on a global basis by many of the mobile industry's leading players, together with world-renowned content and brand organisations.

Superscape has corporate headquarters in Hook, Hampshire (UK) and San Clemente, California (USA) with regional offices in Tokyo and Sydney. The company is quoted on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: SPS).



Superscape (SPS) has received various tips in the press and by Analysts recently which will certainly give impetous to the share price. Indicators are looking good with the RSI rising off an oversold position and the MACD crossing showing BULLISH signs for the stock.

The mobile gaming market is still in it's infancy but the projected revenue is enormous. Mobile operators are looking at tapping the Gameboy market as they feel that users will not want to carry around a multitude of technology and if they have a mobile phone which can double as a gaming station than people will prefer this option.

People should also look at the recent contracts which SPS have signed for their technology. This is a technology company which could well be a great success in 2004.

Superscape Mobile Games come to Taiwan courtesy of iaSolution distribution agreement
December 6, 2004

Back to press room

Superscape Group plc (LSE:SPS - News), leaders in revolutionary entertainment for mobile phones, announces the signing of a revenue-sharing agreement with Taiwan-based iaSolution which will bring a selection of the company`s games to consumers via the region`s leading mobile networks. These include Chungha, Taiwan Cellular Corporation and Far East Tone.

iaSolution, a leading Java Virtual Machine software company in Asia, has also become a leading specialist in Java-based technology and entertainment throughout Taiwan, China and South Korea.

The Superscape games which will be available immediately include:

Van Helsing - an exciting multi-level action game based on the blockbuster film from Universal Studios

Evel Knievel (licensed by GWE) - an extreme sports/stunt game starting the world famous daredevil

Alien vs Predator - two of films scariest characters do battle on earth in a game linked to the film

Fight Club - a twisting plot based on the themes established in the Fight Club film starring Brad Pitt

Ivan Stewart (licensed by GWE) - an isometric, third person off-road Baja style mobile race game featuring Ivan Ironman Stewart.

Commenting on the agreement, Kevin Roberts, CEO, Superscape Group plc said: "We have already had a great reaction to our games in the Far East, and I am delighted that we have now signed an agreement with iaSolution which will build on this early success. I believe that this initial selection of games will prove very popular in the region and I look forward to introducing new titles with iaSolution in the months ahead."

Wesley Kuo, CEO at iaSolution said: "We are very impressed not only with the quality of the Superscape games, but also by the fact that they are based on such powerful, well-known brands which we are sure will prove very exciting to our consumers."

Thanks Skids.They are licensing like crazy in the far east right now...obviously a smart focus as the region has the highest per capita gaming anywhere, even US and developed Europe (it is as much as 2x) and mobile handsets to tweens/teens is exploding. I think the potential is huge and the international dimension they are buiding very very fast to capitalise on first mover advantage. About time for them to raise their FY forecasts as most of this is revenue positive in the current year.

Time to buy at 60p now...looks cheap

Is this new hand held game station from Sony that was featured in some press articles yesterday going to have an adverse effect on this companies profitability. Apparently the Japanese were queuing all night for the equipment.
Reports went onto say that the equipment purchased in Japan retailing circa 160 were fetching in excess of 500 on ebay true or not what will be the effect of this competition

Bankone,

I don't think there is any competition. Afterall SPS have a java standard agreed by Sun! They have also recently announced a partnership with ATI - one of the biggest grahics chips producers. Just my opinion of course, but SPS isn't just about games, its about 3D API's being available to mobile devices in the same way that PC's have great 3D graphics. SPS are just producing a std for small devices. But remember 3D isn't just games (look further than that).

i think SPS are overdue to provide an update and early indications of the impact the new standard phone sales are having on their revenues

Im in sps but worried about the negative press about poor 3g sales, notice a good rebound in vodafone today though.

Kivver,

SPS are not about 3G, it just so happens that the Swerve technology is coming out at the same time (i.e. on the same phones) as 3G. But it is not dependant on it. I believe SPS will make huge amounts of money from the Asia market with or without any European 3G support.

Skids can you explain the red and the blue lines in the graph please the ones under the green bar chart. Is it about to turn upwards and what happens to the price of the share once it does - bit green myself but willing to learn before investing in this one.

BANKONE,

Take a look at the link below for a full explanation. But my basic understanding is, it is to do with closing prices relative to opening prices. Indicating buying and selling trends I guess - not one I use, but it clearly shows that SPS has been an opportunity to make a quick buck several times being in for only a couple of weeks at a time (something I have taken advantage of). Having said that though, I think SPS are a good medium term bet and I still hold a small qty. But always do your own research.

BANKONE,
many of us use indicators to try and help us make desisions about investments however I beleive the best indicator is the price and trend, if the price is going up buy it and if its going down sell it. Keep it simple.

The trend is your friend!!!!

So what is going on with this sp? I thought these would be rocketing by now, or at least creeping up consistantly. What's happened? Do we need a trading update to shift this up again ,news of new contracts doesn't seem to be having much of an effect. Any thoughts anyone....you've all gone quiet...anyone still in?

sandrew64,

patience. i take it the hike in the last 3 mths is not enough for you then?
sps is correctly valued at 60p, so we'll need a major new deal or some new figures about incoming revenues to hike it beyond that level (i have confidence this will happen by end of Jan).

skids

Sorry...have had a bit of a rough week.I suppose this one has a habit of shooting up and then going quiet for a while...I'll try to be more patient...New Years resolutions and all that.
Have a wonderful Christmas all.

Merry Xmas to you too Sandrew64.

sandrew .. your not alone PET acollapse, CFP !!!! GOO continual slide,YOO bubble burst(for moment any way)this is one remaining possible bright spot so understand your sentiments.............but just remember , its only money!!!!!
Oh the sharp knife is in the drawer next to the sleeping tablets, you chose first i'll follow.Happy Xmas SPS will fly in the new year

Anyone with any doubt about the future of SPS should read the link below. Its nothing new (other than the recent contract win), but sums up 2004 and what 2005 will bring. Its going to be BIG.

I suspect we should receive news of revenues soon. 3G has been going for a month, so hopefully some figures of handsets sold should be released.
